MySource:Inactive or Deleted Data

Description

This page is a collection of deleted or inactive MySource files/pages.

Most of these original MySource files seem to have been created during GEDCOM import process. Many of these GEDCOM uploads were abandoned by the contributors, or the data that connects to them were deleted, removed or abandoned during maintenance clean-up. Some of the MySource files were deleted by system administrators as containing no information or because they were blank pages being "watched" only by that one inactive users who uploaded it. Once deleted, the MySource page title automatically appeared in the "Wanted Page" list if the reference was still being cited as sources for person and family fact events on pages that remained "active" or undeleted for whatever reason.

Redirecting these pages to this collection page seems to be an adequate manual way to manage these errant "Wanted Pages" and still be able to reference them for future restoration, maintenance, or clean-up until some other more suitable automatic method can be determined, developed and agreed to by users and system administrators.

Redirects Removed

I added the following note to each of the above restored Talk Pages for site maintenance Source Patrol volunteers:

"This page was deleted by a system administrator as part of routine maintenance due to it being blank and being watched either by no users or by only one inactive user, but the ### links to it were MySource citations used to support fact events the contributor used as a source for the information during the GEDCOM upload process. Whether or not the GEDCOM file in and of itself is a valid "MySource" is up for debate, but to delete it and still have multiple references made to it seems undesirable at best and unworkable at worst. Please review the description of the situation at MySource:Inactive or Deleted Data and the discussion at its associated talk page for the history related to this page before further arbitrary action is made.
